Can you mana leak or counter demon of death's gate if they pay life and creatures instead of mana cost
Asked by darksongdw 13 years ago
Just want to know if you can counter the demon if they pay the special cost of 6 life and 3 creatures

Yes. I say. The first post summed it up nicely.
Put a pretty bow on it and call it a day.

The example I think thaimaishuu was looking for is from Genesis Wave

Summoning Trap is always the best example for this effect.
You should never play card:Demon of Death's Gate against a deck running any counterspells, because you will not get a Demon on your field, but you will help your opponent wipe the board.

card:Demon of Death's Gate
His first ability is a replacement cost (as to mana cost). This creature is still casted. So, yes he can be countered. The only time Mana Leak will not work is when a creature is not being casted. Such is the case when a creature is "put onto the battlefield."
